Carried by this plate 9 is a forming head 10 which is to be i of the configuration or design in accordance with the character of the work requlred and "land this head preferably extends beyond a margin of thetplate 9 to overlie theface a of the plate 1"in advance of the depression or pocket 8. y The die member D is held lIlflppllBflPQSltion by a tap screw 11 selectively disposed through one of the openings 12 in the plate in requisite engagement wit-h the die member D. A plurality of openings 12am employed to provide desired fastening to the plate 1 i die' members Dof different lengths.

It is preferred that; the underface of the plate-obs provided with achannel or groove I 14 topartially receive the inner portion of a die head when the ,loop'member I is moved into a position to overlie an apphed walls 4 is greater than themajorwidth of a die'ghead 10 in order to assure requisite clearance'b at opposite sides of such head when the loopmember L is in working poforming jhead 1-0 :is relatively short in length, while infFigures 10 and 11 1 illustrate' a still further type of die member membersmay be. of such design or type as may be required for the'particular characterof tlhe'work rmore particularly the design of eye required in thewire tie.

In practice ,'the wire from which a tie T is to befor'med is properly disposed around the 'fp'rmingmembersm with one extremity of the wirejdirected through an opening 7 After thishas' been donea loop member L is moved over its associated. forming head whereupon the{twisting machine is caused to operate,-

During-this operation each of the loop members-L serves to prevent theeye 15 being forme'din the tie T from becomlng disengaged from its forming head 10. It will'als'o-be i understood that each eye 15 will be formed :in 'a" style I or :design similar to the character" of the forming head 10.

Eromi the j foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a die mechanism constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well-adapted' for' use by reason-of the convenience and facility with which it maybe assembled and operated, and it will-also be-obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing fromithe principles andspirit-thereofand for this-reason I do die member.
